You can program keyboard shortcuts to add characters not on keyboard, but frequently used.

Add the caller lines to the Ted4_tabitems.xml (<Menuset Name="TxtDesigner">, <InputConfig>):

<KeyBinding CommandType="ParametersScript" CommandParameter="EditInsertChar" Param="ü" Modifiers="ALT" Key="U"/>

<KeyBinding CommandType="ParametersScript" CommandParameter="EditInsertChar" Param="Ü" Modifiers="SHIFT,ALT" Key="U"/>

The above examples add shortcuts for the letters Ü and ü, and assigns the shortcuts as ALT+U or SHIFT+ALT+U.

Note: it's your responsibility to avoid the double-use of shortcuts that are already used elsewhere!

Save and re-import in database the Ted4_TabItems.xml when done. Restart GN4 applications for the change to take effect.
